Clean it up, sand blast, and recheck. It can be cast iron welded or brazed as the A's do not run a pressurized system. B U T if the block is not the original, serial numbers matching, do not worry, just get another block. should be less than having the one you have repaired. One other thing to check before spending funds on your block is the size of the bore. if it is at .100 over it "should" be sleeved back to standard bore. Just another reason to look for another block. I do not know where you live but around here Model A engines that are not runners are cheap, $100.00 or so, just a block goes for $50.00 + or- .
